I'll start with an explanation. I've kept a link to this blog in my profile for months without updating. I'm sorry. I use Netscape on my laptop, because my Internet Explorer was massively corrupted. Unfortunately Netscape didn't support blogspot.com There were clearly solutions available but I just didn't have the time to look into it as it was a low priority. But then I found myself sitting in my room on Saturday afternoon, halfheartedly studying for my Nat Sci exam on Monday and realized now is the perfect time. And my problems are solved because I've decided to switch to Mozilla Firefox. And now, I am back. You can count on blog updates.

There have been many times during the last semester that I wanted to blog to talk about my big 21st Birthday Bash in February, my excellent Spring Break in South Florida with my shiksa and my Jewish grandmother, the insanity that is the Admissions office in April, or finals or Dems or comics, really anything. Now I'm bursting with topics and don't know what to write about.

So lets do a brief weekend recap just to get back into the swing of things. Thursday began at 8 am with my Cold War Final Exam. Actually went pretty well - some IDs, timelines, and two essay questions. On Thursday night, Shawna graciously hosted a dinner for our little Dems cabal to get together once more before graduation and to give some gifts to our departing seniors, Lauren, Shaun, and Dave. Later that night I decided to get loco for Cinco de Mayo at B-Bar. It was an excellent night out, but it always is with Julia when we meet up with Al Val, the Riv, Becky, Marc, and special guest star Kenneth. I ran into the infamous Dantre Connerly and one of my orientees from the previous summer who I had no recollection of, but at least he remembered me positively. The only downside was that we went to Crif Dogs at 2, right as it was closing. I guess we all forgot it was Thursday and therefore Crif Dogs wouldn't be open until 4. Ah well, I could never really get the hang of Thursdays.
I decided to hit up the Bronfman for Shabbat last night. I've always had a tough time being comfortable there at services. Kesher, the Reform group, has way too much guitar for my tastes. Honestly to me the ideal amount of guitar playing at Shabbat is none. I've tried the Conservative services too, but I just can't get the hang of the non-participatory nature. At least it was another opportunity to see Dave get a nice send off before he starts his PhD program at USC. Speaking of Dave and send offs, after dinner he was saying good-bye to Noah. Noah mentioned that it was possible that they would never see each other again (they are only acquaintances) but Dave reassured him that they would...at my wedding. Weird, huh?
Anyway after two Shabbat dinners (one at Bronfman and one at Weinstein) Noah, Julia, and I decided to take it easy and watch Eulogy in my room. I highly recommend it, by the way, Hank Azaria and Zooey Deschanel are both excellent.

As for tonight, I have two parties that I have been eagerly anticipating one is the After Party for the Admissions Ambassador Senior Dinner at Onyx and the other is an awesome rooftop party held by some lovely ladies from Summer O '03. But first Julia and I are having dinner with Noah and Erica, and I hear our friend Corey might be joining us.
Tomorrow Brunch with Mom. Happy Mother's Day.
